Flux’s 9th Annual Benefit Auction 2015
Save that date! Flux Factory’s 9th annual “Not-So-Silent” Art Auction is coming up on April 23rd, 7-10pm at 79 Walker Street in Manhattan. Celebrate with hundreds of your closest friends in support of one of New York City’s most unique and longstanding residency programs. This benefit event supports Flux’s 2015 operations — over 50 artists-in-residence, who produce over 40 exhibits, concerts and workshops in addition to 4 major annual group exhibitions. Additionally, we will host a 2 week opportunity for online bidding, beginning April 8th, hosted on Paddle8. The Art Auction is always a fabulous time, with an open bar, light fare, DJs, sideshows, and of course the art — over 75 works from Flux artists-in-residence and friends such as Genesis P Orridge, Swoon, Cecily Brown, Richard Garet, Tod Seelie and a very, very many more.
